1 CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING SEMIANNUAL REPORT OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL OPERATIONS CPB AUDIT RESOLUTION ACTIVITIES October 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013
2 FOREWORD Congress created the (CPB) in 1967 as a private nonprofit corporation chartered in the District of Columbia to promote noncommercial public telecommunications. In authorizing CPB, Congress made it clear that noncommercial television and radio in America, even though supported by Federal funds, must be absolutely free from any Federal Government interference beyond the mandate in the legislation. A nine-member Board of Directors (the Board) was established to govern CPB, set policy, and establish programming priorities. The Board is expected to have broad representation from throughout the country. Board members are selected from among citizens of the United States who are eminent in fields such as education, cultural and civic affairs, or the arts, including television and radio. Each member is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for a six-year term. CPB is the largest single source of Federal funding for public television and radio programming. It provides financial support and a variety of services to more than 1,000 public television and radio stations nationwide. CPB support ensures that stations can exchange program materials through a national interconnection system. In addition, CPB initiatives seek ways to help public television and radio stations serve their communities more efficiently and effectively. These initiatives make possible diverse and innovative programs that are educational and locally relevant. CPB also gives grants to organizations and to individual producers for the production or acquisition of new programs for public television and radio. These activities help provide universal access to the public broadcasting system. CPB receives nearly all of its funding from Congress. Funds are appropriated two years before the fiscal year they are to be spent. This advanced funding provides stability for the planning and funding of long-term programs and projects. CPB s total Federal appropriations for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 were approximately $437 million. This includes $421.9 million for the general Federal appropriation after consideration of the 0.2 percent rescission and the 5.0 percent reduction resulting from sequestration. CPB must spend at least 95 percent of its general Federal appropriation on grants/contracts to television and radio stations, producers of programs, and educational services, as well as, for general system support. The balance of the general Federal appropriation, up to five percent, may be expended for internal CPB operations. Additionally, CPB received a $14.7 million U.S. Department of Education Ready To Learn grant. In 1988, Congress enacted amendments to the Inspector General Act (IG Act) requiring that CPB, as one of a number of designated Federal entities, have an Office of Inspector General (OIG). In this regard, CPB s OIG is an independent component of the organization, reporting to the Board through its Audit and Finance Committee. In addition to reporting to the Board, the IG Act requires that the Inspector General and the head of the CPB each report semiannually to Congress and the public regarding OIG operations and activities. Since CPB is a small organization, we have combined these separate reporting requirements into one joint report. The OIG s report section is titled October 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 i
3 Office of Inspector General Operations (page 1) and CPB s report section is titled CPB Audit Resolution Activities (page 16).

6 OIG Operations in the Current Period The following table presents our accomplishments during this six month semiannual reporting period. Reports Issued for the Period Ending September 30, 2012 Report Number Date Issued Report Title Questioned Costs Unsupported Costs Funds Put To Better Use Audits: AST February 4, 2013 Evaluations: EPF March 29, 2013 ECO March 29, 2013 Examination of CPB Grants Awarded to Northwest Indiana Public Broadcasting, Inc., for the Periods Ending September 30, 2010 and 2011 Evaluation of CPB Procurement Awards for the Period October 1, 2009-April 1, 2012 Evaluation of Open Grants/Contracts with Expiration Dates of June 30, 2011 or Earlier $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 $0 The IG Act, as amended, establishes the reporting requirements and terminology used in this report. To facilitate the reader s understanding of the reporting terminology, we offer the following definitions. The term questioned cost means a cost is questioned by the auditor as an alleged violation of a law, contract, grant, or other agreement governing the expenditure of funds. A cost can also be questioned when it is not supported by adequate documentation. This type of questioned cost is also known as unsupported cost. The term funds put to better use means funds could be used more efficiently, e.g., reducing future outlays, de-obligating funds from a contract or grant, or taking other recommended corrective actions. The term management decision means a decision made by CPB management after evaluating the findings and recommendations contained in the audit report. The findings and recommendations can be either monetary or non-monetary in nature. In the case of a monetary questioned cost finding, the management decision will either disallow or allow the questioned cost. When recommended questioned costs are sustained by management s decision, these are reported as disallowed costs in the Semiannual Report to Congress. The term final action means that all the corrective actions identified in the management decision have been completed. In the case of questioned costs, it means that all questioned costs sustained in the management decision have been October 1, 2012 to March 31,
7 refunded to CPB. Similarly, in the case of non-monetary findings, all recommended corrective actions have been implemented by CPB, a contractor, or grantee and have been accepted as complete by CPB management. October 1, 2012 to March 31,
8 Audit & Assistance Activities Significant Reports Issued Examination of CPB Grants Awarded to Northwest Indiana Public Broadcasting Inc., for Periods Ending September 30, 2010 and 2011, Report No. AST , Issued February 4, 2013 The objectives of the examination were to determine whether the licensee: a) claimed Non-Federal Financial Support (NFFS) on its Annual Financial Reports (AFRs) for FYs 2010 and 2011 in accordance with CPB Financial Reporting Guidelines; b) complied with the Certification of Eligibility requirements and the statutory provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended; and c) expended CSG, and other grant funds in accordance with CPB grant requirements. Based upon our examination we found noncompliance with the following statutory provisions of the Communications Act and CPB grant requirements: open meeting requirements to provide quarterly on-air announcements of the station s open public meetings policies; open financial records requirements to make the CPB Annual Financial Report and CPB grant financial reports available to the public; to develop documentation indicating the manner the station will comply with the five statutory requirements of the Communications Act; and the Independent Public Accountant s attestation of the AFR s compliance with CPB s NFFS reporting requirements. Recommendations We recommended that CPB require the licensee to fully comply with all requirements of the Act and provide CPB with documentation of its compliance as follows: make quarterly on-air announcements of the station s open meeting policy and maintain documentation of the station s on-air announcements; develop controls that ensure that financial records provided to the public include any agreements with CPB that require a financial report; and establish written implementing policies of the station s practices for all of the Communications Act requirements. We also recommended that CPB require the licensee to ensure its IPA conducts an attestation examination of its AFR in accordance with CPB Financial Reporting Guidelines. In response to the draft report, licensee officials agreed with our findings on the Communications Act and the IPA s attestation on NFFS compliance. They also have initiated corrective actions as they outlined in their written response to the draft report. October 1, 2012 to March 31,
9 CPB Response CPB s management decision resolving our recommendations is due by August 3, Evaluation of CPB Procurement Awards for the Period October 1, April 1, 2012, Report No. EPF , Issued March 29, 2013 The objectives of our review were to determine whether CPB: 1) procured goods and services in accordance with the CPB Procurement Policy, CPB Contracts Policy, and the Project Officer Handbook; 2) obtained goods and services (including productions) from the highest quality contractor or grantee at the most economical cost or price; and 3) utilized digital funds in accordance with the requirements specified in the appropriation. We initiated this evaluation to address an allegation of favoritism in awarding grants and contracts based on an anonymous complaint. Our evaluation of 19 contracts and 8 grants from the 745 contracts and discretionary grants awarded competitively or sole source during the period of our review found the following: 10 of 13 sole source justifications did not adequately document that the contractors selected were the only contractors practicably available or that an emergency existed; 3 of 4 production grant awards were not reviewed by an outside panel as specified by the Public Broadcasting Act; 4 of 4 grants for non-production services were not required to be reviewed by an outside panel; 6 of 6 competitive contract procurements provided assurance that contracts were awarded to qualified providers for a reasonable cost; and no evidence that digital funds were not used in accordance with the appropriation requirements. Additionally, we observed that procurements recorded in CPB s Grants Information and Financial Tracking System (GIFTS) did not accurately describe agreements as either a contract or grant, or whether the agreement was competed or was sole source. Such classifications would assist in determining what procurement guidelines to follow in approving the contract or grant, as well as provide full accountability over procurement activities for planning and management oversight purposes. Overall we concluded that CPB needs to adhere more closely to its procurement policies and procedures when awarding sole source contracts, as well as more consistently comply with the Public Broadcasting Act requirements when awarding national programming grants. Based on our evaluation we could not substantiate the allegations of favoritism in awarding contracts and grants from the documented records. To avoid any appearance of favoritism in awarding contracts and grants CPB should ensure that sole source justifications appropriately justify the reasons contractors are October 1, 2012 to March 31,
10 considered the only practicable option or that emergencies exist. Further, national programming proposals should be reviewed by an outside panel, as specified by the statute. Recommendations We recommended that CPB revise its policies and procedures to improve the documentation of solicitation and award decisions by: requiring project officers to improve justifications for contractors and grantees that are considered the only practicable option; revising the procurement policy to emphasis that emergencies must be unforeseen and that non emergency projects should not be combined with projects being awarded because of an emergency; revising guidance to project officers to require them to complete questions on concurrence forms related to procurement method, why grantee was selected, results of the panel review, and why the proposed costs were considered reasonable; requiring that, to the extent practical, external review panels are used to evaluate proposals prior to awarding grants for national programming, including when panels are not used, the reasons for not doing so should be documented; and ensuring CPB contract and grant files document proposal evaluation sheets, including any weighting factors used in the evaluation. We also recommended that CPB revise its policies and procedures to improve recording of contract and grant awards in GIFTS by: identifying awards as a grant or a contract rather than classifying both grants and contracts as contracts; revise the CPB Concurrence Form to require project officers to specify the type of award (competitive or sole source) for all grants, including those with media content; and ensure GIFTS accurately describes procurements as grants or contracts (sole source or competitive) to provide accountability over all procurement activities and permit oversight of sole source contracting activities. In response to the draft report, CPB management generally concurred with the findings and recommendations with respect to improved documentation of procurement decisions, particularly in cases of sole source or emergency determinations. Although they agreed that sole source procurements could have been better documented for some of the procurements highlighted in the report, management also believes that their decisions were justified and appropriate under CPB policy. They stated that their award October 1, 2012 to March 31,
11 decisions provided good value to CPB and represented a reasonable exercise of business discretion. CPB management also believes that content-related grant award decisions, which management stated were not subject to the procurement policy and its RFP process, could have been documented better to record their decision that an outside panel review was not practicable. CPB Response CPB s management decision resolving our recommendations is due by September 25, Evaluation of Open Grants/Contracts with Expiration Dates of June 30, 2011 or Earlier, Report No. ECO , Issued March 29, 2013 The objectives of our evaluation were to verify: 1) funds available to deobligate; 2) actions taken by project officers to close-out grants/contracts; and 3) compliance with CPB Contract Close-out Procedures, Deobligation Policy, and the Project Officer Handbook. Overall our evaluation found: Actions taken by the CPB over the last year reduced the number of open grants/contracts with ending dates of June 30, 2011 or earlier from 47 grants/contracts with $6,434,658 in accounts payable to 4 grants/contracts with $159,548 in accounts payable; and Project officers and departmental managers have not adequately focused on closing out expired grants/contracts in accordance with established procedures, policies and guidelines. Additionally, our sample of 9 grants/contracts found:. 9 grants/contracts final deliverables were not submitted to CPB within the grant agreement timeframes (generally 45 days following the expiration of the grant period); 8 grants/contacts have now been closed out, the remaining open grant should be amended to extend the grant period; 6 of the 8 grants/contracts closed out did not use the Closeout Checklist established by the Contract Closeout Procedures dated December 2010; and 1 of the 5 grants/contracts subject to deobligation did not adequately document the decision not to deobligate CPB s proportionate share of unused funds in accordance with CPB s Deobligation Policy dated January 30, Recommendations We recommended that CPB management take actions to: October 1, 2012 to March 31,
12 ensure project officers close-out grants/contracts on a timely basis in accordance with established CPB procedures, policies, and guidelines; establish a performance objective in departmental manager s and project officer s job performance elements to manage grants/contracts in accordance with established practices; and provide training to departmental managers and project officers on grant/contract management procedures, policies, and guidelines. We also recommended that CPB reconsider a previous decision not to develop a common grant/contract project management system to be used by all departments and project officers to facilitate executive oversight across CPB departments. In response to the draft report, CPB management generally concurred with the findings and recommendations with respect to project officer oversight of grants and contracts. Further, management stated they will take under advisement the establishment of formal project officer performance objectives and continue to provide training to department managers and project officers. Further, they stated they would continue to work on the creation of a new project management system within the financial constraints of reduced operating funds. CPB Response CPB s management decision resolving our recommendations is due by September 25, October 1, 2012 to March 31,
13 Other Special Requests and Assignments Follow-up Reporting on CPB s Corrective Actions Related to Report No. EPB , dated November 15, 2005, Review of Alleged Actions Violating The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, as Amended In response to this report, the Board of Directors and CPB management initiated Project Champion in December 2005 to examine and strengthen policies and procedures in four major areas of CPB s operations (procurement, contracting, human resources, and payment processing). With this report CPB has now resolved and closed all 28 recommendations presented in the audit report. During this semiannual period CPB officials revisited its planned actions to address the open recommendation to revise the Board of Director s Code of Ethics to include disciplining Board members for violating the Code of Ethics through statutory changes. Upon further review of the changes made to the Board s Code of Ethics and the establishment of the Corporate Governance Committee, these mechanisms have worked effectively over the last six years and provide the Board with sufficient oversight tools to discipline corporate activities, as well as, itself to warrant closing this recommendation. In April 2011, the CPB Board of Directors revised the Charter for the CPB Office of the Ombudsman to require the ombudsman to prepare annually a written review of CPBfunded programming to evaluate its objectivity, balance, fairness, accuracy and transparency. CPB hired a new ombudsman in June of The Board s actions resolved this recommendation and when the ombudsman issued his first report on objectivity and balance in January 2013 his actions closed this recommendation. October 1, 2012 to March 31,
14 Other Assignments in Process The Office of Inspector General has three audits in process. They include a radio station audit, a television production audit, and a radio production audit. We plan to initiate at least two additional audits before the end of the fiscal year. The objectives of the radio audit are to determine compliance with: 1) Non-Federal Financial Support reporting requirements; 2) Certification of Eligibility requirements; 3) Communications Act requirements; and 4) allowable expenditures requirements. The objectives of the two production grant audits are to determine: 1) the accuracy of revenue and expenditure reporting; 2) whether costs were incurred for allowable activities; and 3) compliance with grant requirements. October 1, 2012 to March 31,
15 Resolution of Recommendations The following table summarizes the resolution activities for all audit and assistance reports issued by our office. This table includes reports that contain monetary and nonmonetary findings with related recommendations. Reports Requiring Resolution Description Number of Reports Questioned Costs Total Unsupported Costs Funds Put to Better Use Reports for which no management decision had been made by the start of the reporting period. 8 $702,973 $286,898 $623,885 Reports issued during the reporting period. 3 $0 $0 $0 Subtotals 11 $702,973 $286,898 $623,885 Reports for which a management decision had been made during the reporting period: 5 Dollar value of recommendations agreed to by management $398,299 $1,138 $224,612 Dollar value of recommendations not agreed to by management $18,914 $0 $128,020 Reports with no management decision at the end of the reporting period. 6 $285,760 $285,760 $275,519** ** This column does not foot because CPB s final management decision resolving one audit report disallowed an additional $4,266 more than reported in the audit report. October 1, 2012 to March 31,
16 Summary of Reports Issued Before September 30, 2012 with no Management Decision by March 31, 2013 During this reporting period there were three audit reports that were not resolved within the six month audit resolution timeframe. All three were subsequently resolved during the first week of April Examination of Selected CPB Grants Awarded to Radio Bilingüe, Inc., for the Period October 1, 2008 November 30, 2010, Audit Report No. ASR , Issued March 30, 2012 Our examination found questionable costs of $285,760 for the lack of adequate supporting documentation. Additionally, we found that $7,823 claimed as in-kind contributions for satellite services were not adequately supported. The grantee also improperly claimed NFFS revenues of $28,150 received from public broadcasting entities. This resulted in CPB making $1,827 in excess CSG payments to Radio Bilingüe during FY We classified this amount as funds put to better use for reporting purposes, because these funds could have been distributed to other public broadcasting entities. Additionally, we found that grantee was not compliant with the statutory provisions of the Communications Act or the CPB Certification of Eligibility requirements. CPB management issued a management decision resolving the findings in this report on April 4, Examination of City Colleges of Chicago, WYCC-TV for Fiscal Years , Audit Report No. AST , Issued September 27, 2012 Our examination found that WYCC-TV overstated NFFS by $2,382,835, resulting in CPB making overpayments of $273,692 to WYCC-TV. Additionally, we found that WYCC-TV did not fully comply with all requirements of the Communications Act. CPB management issued a management decision resolving the findings in this report on April 2, Report of Evaluation Complaint Against KVNF-FM, Report No. ESR , Issued on September 10, 2012 Our evaluation found that the grantee did not maintain discrete accounting over CPB Community Service Grant funds. CPB management issued a management decision resolving the finding in this report on April 4, October 1, 2012 to March 31,
17 Peer Review CPB OIG Peer Review The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, Office of Inspector General, last conducted a peer review of CPB s OIG, Office of Audit s system of quality control for the period ending March 31, Their report, dated February 15, 2011, concluded that our system of quality control has been suitably designed and complied with, to provide reasonable assurance of complying with professional auditing standards. There were no recommendations made in the peer review report or any carryover recommendations from prior peer reviews. The peer review report is available on our website at We are scheduled to have our next peer review in the coming months. October 1, 2012 to March 31,
18 Investigative Activities The Inspector General Act provides for the OIG to receive and investigate complaints or allegations involving potential violations of law; rules or regulations; mismanagement; gross waste of funds; or abuse of authority. Because we do not employ criminal investigators, when we receive an allegation of a criminal violation, we either refer it to the Federal Bureau of Investigation or other appropriate law enforcement agencies, or contract with another OIG for assistance. The results of such investigations may be referred to appropriate federal, state, or local prosecuting authorities for action. Allegations and Hotline Complaints In the previous semiannual report, we reported that we had six open complaints. These involved various allegations that public television and radio stations did not comply with the Communications Act requirements (e.g. open financial records, Community Advisory Boards and donor lists(s) as well as other allegations of mismanagement or abuse of CPB funds. In December 2012, we added one additional matter as a Hotline complaint which had initially been received in July. Six of the seven complaints open from the previous reporting period were closed during the current period. In three of the complaints, the allegations were not proven; in one the complainant was unable to provide sufficient usable evidence to support the allegations; in one there was no CPB jurisdiction; and in one, OIG and CPB were unable to identify information that would be relevant to the sentencing of a former station manager who had entered a guilty plea. We have kept one complaint open in order to provide other law enforcement agencies with information, but OIG is not actively investigating or auditing the allegations. During this reporting period, we received 23 complaints. Fifteen were closed after preliminary review because there was no CPB jurisdiction, because the complaint lacked specificity, or because the complainant was unable to provide evidence. One complaint was closed by referral for possible audit. For the seven remaining complaints, we are seeking additional information from CPB, outside sources or are otherwise reviewing the allegations presented. At the end of this reporting period, eight complaints remain open. Investigations One active case remains in process at the end of this reporting period. October 1, 2012 to March 31,

KBCS, WETA, WNET and WGBH These reports recommended that CPB establish a policy for claiming indirect costs under CPB grant agreements. CPB undertook extensive discussions with national public broadcasting producers in order to develop a consensus of opinion around guidelines that would be fair and equitable to both producers and CPB. Discussions between the parties have primarily focused on resolving differences when applying indirect costs to acquisition and subcontracting costs. CPB is currently working on resolving internal differences between CPB officials and the OIG officials. CPB expects to complete this process and to implement its policy no later than April 30, Station Survey This report recommended expanding the independent public accountant s attestation testing to verify compliance with the Communications Act requirements. To accomplish this CPB is updating the Financial Reporting Guidelines and developing a communications plan to notify all grantees of the new requirements. CPB expects these new procedures will be implemented for the grantees FY 2013 audits, by October 1, October 1, 2012 to March 31,
